    That may be, but it still doesn’t explain how the cops can charge him with intimidation of cops. Charges like that should only come from a prosecutor.

      I agree that there may be a case of cops going beyond the law. I only looked into this since the Canada feed has about 4+ articles talking about this guy with very little details. A 2 second search shows he’s basically a Russian agent.

        Well if he is a Russian agent, he should be charged if he did any crimes. But this ain’t what this is about

          Sure, I agree. Lemmy.ca has been spammed with articles about this activist though that don’t mention that he’s pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine. Just thought I’d add some context.

        Then cops can recommend charges be laid by the feds.

        In no way, shape or form do the cops have any right to charge him with anything at this point.
